Was Dazzler supposed to be Black?

I just learn some interesting news about Dazzler, the disco mutant queen who later became a member of the X-Men.

1. She was a collaboration between Marvel Comics and the legendary Disco record label, Casablanca Records.
2. Her original name was Disco Queen.
3. Casablanca Records wanted her to be Black. In fact...

But that idea and record label partnership died. Two years, Dazzler was created after seeing Bo Derek.
